Up and coming

The most im­por­tant lo­cal in­fra­struc­ture ad­di­tion is the sprawl­ing, land­scaped, Chi­ang Mai Con­ven­tion Cen­tre which is due to open in 2013. With a ca­pac­ity of 10,000 del­e­gates, the cen­tre is the sec­ond largest in Thai­land, and is ex­pected to be­come a big name in the in­ter­na­tional con­ven­tion busi­ness. Chi­ang Mai can be con­ve­niently com­bined with Chi­ang Rai for In­dian vis­i­tors. The Golden Tri­an­gle is also a high-po­ten­tial re­gion.
